Patch 86253-04 for Software Release 2.5.3
C613-10382-00 REV C
The ICMP messages that are able to be enabled or disabled are:
■ Network unreachable (RFC792 Type 3 Code 0)
■ Host unreachable (RFC792 Type 3 Code 1)
■ ICMP redirect messages (RFC792 Type 5 Code 0, 1, 2, 3)
Network Unreachabl e
This message indicates that the switch does not know how to reach the
destination network.
Host Unreachabl e
This message indicates that the switch does not know how to reach the host.
ICMP Redirect
This message is sent to a local host to tell it that its target is located on the same
LAN (no routing is required) or when it detects a host using a non-optimal route
(usually because a link has failed or changed its status)
on a directly connected
router to advise of a better route to a particular destination.
For more information on ICMP, see the IP Chapter in your switch’s Software
Reference manual.
Commands
This enhancement introduces three new commands:
■ DISABLE IP ICMPREPLY

disabled (RFC792 Type 3 Code 0). If HOSTUNREACH is specified, all host
unreachable message replies are disabled (RFC792 Type 3 Code 1). If
